Burton Triad Snowboard Binding - 2008 BCS

I have these from two years ago. They work well and are extremely comfortable. Easy on and off and work really well for me. Im not a huge trick rider, I mostly just cruise down the mountain with out doing any tricks. So all these bad reviews might be from guys who do more extreme stuff than me. None the less, if you can get them on clearance, it's a good buy. Some of the colors are lame to me...but I guess other people might like them.

One highback broke at the 'living hinge' forward lean adjuster. He had not been using them for a year. Burton warrantied and replaced highback, but I am still skeptical of the quality and/or durability of Burton bindings.

Burton bindings might be the worst on the market. I have had the Triad's since December. Screw's fall out, the leather on the strap has worn down and is ripping, the padding on the high back is also terrible, and has started to fall apart at the seams. The high back has way too much flex and it gets worse over time. The top strap cushion is also very inefficient with way too much bulk.

If you are a serious rider looking for a quality binding, look somewhere else, Burton is not the way to go.

My buddy also had the C-60's and after his third time riding them the high back broke.

Very disappointed, Burton bindings are all hype.

if u have eu size 42 on your boots can u buy an L binding anyway ? it says 43+ but is it possible with lower like size 42?

I have been snowboarding for 14 years and have almost always had Burton bindings, but this may be my last pair.

The only reason I may continue to rock burton binders is because just about every rideshop has a kit full of burton replacement parts(I even got a buckle replaced at the resort in Taos). And the warranty is good for a year but, that means about a month without the part, and once the year is up you have to pay whatever price the kid behind the counter in your boardshop wants to charge your for the part.

I have in the past 6 months broken, one highback at the "living hinge" the other split down the middle, I have broken the tab off the ratchet on my rear ankle strap, and the others have all frayed like crazy.

I agree with the other review. I got these last year and they are failing after 12 days use. They are very adjustable and comfortable. But the rear binding loosens up several times on each run. Also, the cushion on both bindings is ripped toward the boot. There is also a metal tab that wraps around the heel. This sheet metal tab is sharp and a little tap into a tree and it bent back so it stuck out 1 inch with a sharp tip. I had to bend it until it broke so it wouldn't be sticking out waiting to skewer me.

All in all, I am now back to using my $55 Salomon bindings that have ~80 days use on them. Avoid these bindings.

Every rider I've ever talked to has said that Burton makes good stuff (and at the very least adequate for the everyday rider); I just read some reviews about how quickly the Triad broke down on someone and I've got to say, "RETURN the item, either Burton (through product warranty) or Backcountry.com will be more than happy to take back your defective binding and replace it (any binding that doesn't last you at least a season would qualify as defective in my opinion, unless you are hammering the stuff yourself).

So don't be a Burton hater, they make good stuff, they honor their products through warranties and you even have another layer of honor by going through backcountry.com......so relax and return your binding, if it falls apart again then I would be more inclined to believe you but you seem to be the only one to say that Burton's gear sucks...most will say it is plenty adequate or that they make top of the line gear, but I've never heard they suck......do you work for DC or something?
